The Basics
How do I know if my baby is growing and developing on schedule?
During the first year of life, your baby will reach milestones in how she learns, plays, behaves, and moves. Each baby grows and develops differently. For example, some babies will crawl earlier than others.
Your baby’s doctor or nurse can help you identify the signs (called developmental milestones) to look for in your child at different ages. This is an important part of the well-baby visit.
There are some basic developmental milestones that your doctor or nurse will look for at each visit.
